FAQ

Why do I need a blog on my website?

Whatever industry you are in, your website is often your first introduction to a potential client. Google and other search engines serve up websites with consistently fresh, new content. A blog is the best way to offer this fresh new content without having to add new pages or rework existing pages constantly.A blog also provides a way to answer common questions that potential or existing clients often have. By answering these questions in your blog, you show potential clients that you are the expert they can trust and that you have the knowledge and skill they are looking for.

FAQ

Who chooses the topics?

That is entirely up to you. Regardless of who chooses the topics, I do extensive research to ensure the content I provide you will give your business and your clients the most value. If you prefer to choose the topics, please note that they do need to be provided by the deadline given or your content will be late.If I choose the topics for you, I will research topics, keywords, and competitors to determine which topics and keywords can provide the most benefit to your business. I will then create your content based on that information.

FAQ

Can you guarantee specific results?

When it comes to the internet and marketing, there are no guarantees. Unfortunately, even with the best content and doing absolutely everything else right, you could still not see the results you hope for.I can guarantee that the content I provide will be high-quality, informative, SEO-optimized, and therefore, will give you the best opportunity for successful marketing that brings you new clients.

FAQ

What if we need more words than the packages you offer?

2,000 words is a lot. Many people don't realize just how many words that is! But in some cases, such as ebooks or white papers, you may need more. If this is the case, just reach out for a custom quote. I'll give you a personalized package specifically to meet your needs.

FAQ

How long does it take to get the content once we sign up?

I prefer to work a month ahead. This means if you sign up in January, at the end of the month, you will receive the content for the month of February.However, I know that sometimes you're eager to get content up sooner, so I am flexible on when content is delivered. I do require a minimum 3-day turnaround to allow enough time for research, writing, and editing.

FAQ

Are there any contracts?

There is a contract agreeing to the details (how many posts, pricing, payment, etc.) to protect both of us. I do ask that you agree to 2-3 months of content because it does take so much time to research and write the content, as well as the time it can take to start seeing results.However, there are no long-term contracts.

FAQ

What if we just need one blog post and don't have a need for ongoing content?

If you already have a writer on staff or that you work with and they're not available, I'm happy to pinch hit for them. You can find my per-piece prices on the Packages page, and I'm more than happy to hop on a call and discuss your needs if you're not sure exactly what you want!

FAQ

Can we mix and match content length?

Yes! If you have need for content of different lengths, we can mix and match what you need. We will work together closely to ensure that the appropriate topics are matched to the length you need.If you aren't sure what length(s) you need, reach out. I'm happy to discuss topics and what length(s) might be appropriate to your needs.

FAQ

Why should I get blog content instead of just paying for ads?

Blog content helps your website show up in search results. Google and other search engines read your site whenever there is new content. How better to give them that new content than a new blog post 1-2 times a week?On top of that, ads are a neverending expense. You pay per impression or per click and you have to keep paying for ads forever. And many times, you pay even if that click or impression doesn't result in a new client for you.Articles and blog posts, however, are what's called evergreen content. This means that it's content that remains relevant for a long time. A blog post I write for you today can still be relevant a decade or more from now - and all you had to pay was the one-time fee for me to write it. It is then on your site permanently, showing up in search results any time a potential client searches for that keyword.Worried that some content might not be so evergreen? Even in cases where an article may need to be updated, it's both faster and cheaper to update it than it is to worry about creating an ad and paying for it - and hoping that when you pay for impressions/clicks, it's for people who might actually become clients.Perhaps more important, you can repurpose your blog's content. It can be used to create social media posts, email newsletters, YouTube videos and even podcast episodes! Once you pay for the content, it is yours to do with as you wish, including repurposing (I can assist you with repurposing content, as well!).

FAQ

Why should I pay you $100 or more for one article when I can pay that (or less) to a platform that gives me multiple articles for that price?

You're welcome to pay one of those platforms, but this is a case of you get what you pay for. Those are content mills, which I worked for when I first started out. The truth is, you pay a relatively high price but the writer sees extremely little of that. In fact, most of those sites pay the writer what amounts to minimum wage or less. This means those writers are scrambling to make any money, which means they rush through your article to churn out another. They'll use AI (which can be a good thing when used properly, but it's never used properly in these cases), skip keywords, and turn in work with typos. There will be little to no personalization, and no attempt to put your voice in it. Yes, you will pay me more for a single article. But each article you pay me for gets my full attention, multiple edits and proofreading before submission to you, optimized SEO, and content that shows the time and research I put into it. You'll get content that you are proud to post with your name on it and that will ultimately persuade your clients that you are the expert they've been looking for.ds.
